Paper Clip failing to save attachment

I'm using Ruby 1.9 and Rails 2.3.4 with Paperclip gem to save attachments. and I followed tutorial by adding the proper migration, adding (has_attached_file :video) to the model, making the form (multipart) and adding <%= f.file_field :video %> to it...

When I try to upload a file I look in the log and I see:

[paperclip] Saving attachments.

But the file isn't really uploaded and the extra fields that have been added by paperclip are all NULLs!!

The fact that it's not throwing any error making me confused where to start looking for possible issues. I'm using MAC OSX Leopard, is it possible that it's a permissions thing? if so how can I give "sudo" permission to my app?

Any ideas what the problem is or how I can display better logging to know where to look for problems.

Thanks,

Tam

I figured out what was the problem

I had to add :video into my attr_accessible in the model so it wasn't assigning that video and wasn't throwing an error
